When I create a smoothie bowl, I always consider two things: flavor and aesthetic. This Berry Banana Smoothie Bowl captures the best of both. By blending each fruit separately, the flavors stay more distinct, allowing you to get bursts of banana or blueberry interspersed with the strawberry base. The separate components also allow you to create a beautiful swirled splatter paint affect with three vibrant and contrasting colors.

I love using canned light coconut milk because it creates a creamier taste than other non-dairy liquids, but it isn’t overwhelmingly heavy or coconut-y. My preferred sweetener is almost always maple syrup (I could literally drink that stuff plain), but feel free to substitute your own favorite sweetener into this recipe.

If you want to ensure you get the swirled splatter paint pattern, it’s important to create consistent thicknesses between your strawberry, banana, and blueberry components. Different consistencies will cause one layer to sink, float, or blend instead of dotting into the preceding layer, so try and stick to the given fruit-to-liquid ratios.

Getting it just right may take practice, but perfecting this smoothie bowl is insanely satisfying. You’ll feel like Jackson Pollock splattering paint on a bare canvas, except you’ll get to eat your creation. Art and eating—I can’t think of a better combination.
